Re: Freediving combined with kayaking, canoeing: Are Elios 5mm suits versatile enough

Don't know about other activities, but the cut on an Elios freediving suit it well suited for swimming. The main problem with SCUBA suits is the only acceptable arm position is straight down, the Elios free diving suits are cut for arms up position, and have a little bit of space when in the arms down position.

I have an Elios 3mm Heiwa medium density and it is a fine swimming suit, other than it is too warm for surface swimming. For a real swimming suit I prefer a 1 piece without attached hood, but with rubber neck, but if you are going multi-purpose it isn't bad.

Strokes done: breast, crawl, butterfly, backstroke.
